Also may depend on how much you are having removed, skill of the surgeon (of course) and ultimately, the size of the incisions. To be perfectly honest, what's worse: scars or gyno? If your gyno is fairly mild, you might opt against the surgery based on the scarring that will result. However, if your gyno is affecting you a lot, let me assure you that scars won't make a difference to your decision.

The scars around the edge of the areola tend to heal very well in most cases. Of course, it depends upon how carefully your surgeon sutured the wounds, whether there was any separation of the wound or infection, and of course, your own genetic healing characteristics. Smoking can also play a negative factor in the way you heal.
